William Hunt Eisenman Award Dr. Allan H. Clauer, FASM, chief metallurgist, retired, LSP Technologies, Dublin, Ohio, will receive this year’s award “for development of laser shock peening from an intriguing concept to a widely practiced technology that improves products and safety, and saves lives.” The award was established in 1960, in memory of a founding member of ASM, and its first and only secretary for 40 years. It recognizes unusual achievements in industry in the practical application of materials science and engineering through production or engineering use. J. Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award Prof. John Ågren, FASM, professor, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, will receive this year’s award “for pioneering work in the field of computational thermodynamics and kinetics and their application to materials design and process improvement.” The award honors J. Willard Gibbs, one of America’s greatest theoretical scientists. In addition to many other contributions, Gibbs laid the thermodynamic foundations of phase equilibria theory with his brilliant essay “On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances,” published in 1876 and 1878 in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy. Allan Ray Putnam Service Award Prof. Sunniva R. Collins, FASM, professor, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, will receive this year’s award “for her leadership of ASM International, at the chapter and national levels, supporting the Society in its goals and objectives with over three decades of committed volunteer service.” Established in 1988, the award recognizes the exemplary efforts of various outstanding members of ASM International on behalf of the Society to further its objectives and goals. The purpose of this award is to recognize those individuals whose contributions have been especially noteworthy and to whom the Society owes a particularly great debt of appreciation. Albert Easton White Distinguished Teacher Award Prof. Diran Apelian, FASM, distinguished professor, department of materials science and engineering, University of California, Irvine, will receive this year’s award “for his legacy of excellence in teaching and innovation and being a visionary role model and inspirational mentor to two generations of students – now leaders in academia and industry.” The award was established in 1960 in memory of an outstanding teacher and research engineer, who was a founding member and president of ASM in 1921. It recognizes unusually long and devoted service in teaching, as well as significant accomplishments in materials science and engineering and an unusual ability to inspire and impart enthusiasm to students. Gold Medal Award Dr. Robert O. Ritchie, FASM, professor, department of materials science and engineering, University of California, Berkeley, will receive this year’s award “for seminal contributions to the micromechanical modeling and mechanistic understanding of the failure, by fracture and fatigue, of a wide range of engineering and biological materials.” The medal was established in 1943 to recognize outstanding knowledge and great versatility in the application of science to the field of materials science and engineering, as well as exceptional ability in the diagnosis and solution of diversified materials problems. Silver Medal Award Dr. Lesley D. Frame, assistant professor, University of Connecticut, Storrs, will receive this year’s award “for noteworthy research and collaborations that merge experiment and characterization of materials, materials behavior modeling, and data analytics; along with her unwavering support of diversity, equity, and inclusion within ASM International.” Lavernia Frame Clauer Ågren Collins Apelian Ritchie 2021 AWARD PROGRAM RECIPIENTS
